My friend Vance Walton took this picture of me on Sunday, while I was taking a break from the action and decided to sit down for a few minutes. Even with the hat, and sunscreen, I still managed to get a nice sunburn on my face during the bright sunny days of the show.

There was a large crowd present for the Sunday show. As you can see, the place was packed. Where's Waldo?

USAF C-40C is really a Boeing Business Jet 737-700 plane. This one has the 737-800's cockpit, engines, and has extra capacity fuel tanks for extended range.

This is the sign that was on display outside of the plane.

USAF Lt. Col. Rob Witzel is the pilot of the Boeing C-40C plane.

As you enter the plane, there is this welcome mat. As you can see, people forgot to wipe their feet before boarding the plane.

The C-40C has all "First Class" seating. This plane is configured to hold 40 passengers and up to 11 crew. The center section contains a conference room area.
